Unable to import from Authenticator Plus #607:

Take the ZIP file, remove html file so there is only the Accounts.txt left.
The import will work!

This will be fixed by #664.

I had this error, I exported them as plain text from authenticator plus, it's an option inside the app then reimported them, worked fine.

No need to worry about security, just delete the text file once the import is done, authenticator plus is dead.

As far as i know, there is no option to export the entries from Authenticator Plus to a single text file; you can only export the informationen to a db file. But if you delete the html file inside the zip file (the Accounts.txt will remain), the import in Aegis will work as expected.

Oh you're right, I exported it as HTML then re-imported it, and it worked fine

How did you modify the zip file to remove the HTML file? Android, Windows and macOS cannot open it or modify it. macOS at least asks for the password but the password I entered doesn't work - other tools see it as compressed with a format the don't understand.
(Meanwhile Aegis won't open it due to the file not found error, but if you enter the wrong password it correctly says the passwrod is wrong, so I think the zip file is fine)

I can open the ZIP file with PowerArchiver and also with Total Commander with the chosen password.

@dnkrupinski Total Commander worked perfectly! Thank you!

You are welcome! Total Commander is The Switzerland Army Knife.
